Topic: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy

Alright I'm in need of assistance because I'm getting pissed off at this game. Does anyone know how long the side quest to get the Vampire asterisk lasts? I get one shotted by all of the dragons to my entire party and I'm level 60. Not in the mood to grind out for hours when the story finally did something. I tried to progress the story and they said there is no going back after this point so I cancelled that and am in a bind. I don't want to miss out on the vampire asterisk, but if it is available later I would like to progress the story.

The Six Dragons have a very distinct pattern and only use physical based attacks. The Ninja's Utsusemi/Transience combo will get you through all six of them entirely on its own, but the Templar's Rampart, Spiritmaster's Spirit Ward, Swordmaster's Nothing Ventured, and some of the Salve-Maker's Compounding abilities will make your life much easier in the long run.

You "can" put it off until Chapter 5 or later, but I'd rather recommend doing it post-haste since enemy mobs the world over will change up starting with Chapter 5.

It's a little harder to get all Genome abilities after Chapter 5 in the Bonus Dungeon.

I wish I could use those abilities earlier. Probably in a NG+ file.

Curse is the only Vampire ability really worth getting (that I found circa Ch. 5), and tons of enemies have it.

Spiritmaster's adaptation is more useful so long as you use it after the dragons cast the eye skill. The regular hits aren't threatening, so protect is a waste of a turn. Don't bother with element reduction items and skills either, the eye skill negates them. Utsusemi is most useful when used as it nullifies anything they can hit you with, rampart is a close second. Ideally you can use both for an easy win.

I ended up using the Transcience, Turning Tables, and Utsusemi trick which meant I beat every single dragon without even getting hit. First turn you use one brave, attack, then use Utsusemi with every character and after that you can autobattle the rest of the way. It takes like 5-10 minutes. I used 4 ninjas with dual wield or it would have taken longer probably. The spiritmaster route was not working for me. I got all my characters to level 8 spiritmaster and used adaptation and it would wear off before I could get it back on and the dragon would go multiple times and wipe out my party still. The Ninja Red Mage route is easily the best strategy I've seen and it doesn't take as long. Just level 5 Ninja and level 4 Red Mage.

As for the story, Chapter 4 was easily the best chapter yet. Once you beat the dragons and go to Vampire Castle, the vampire really gives you nice insight into the backstory that helps flesh out everything. I was impressed. The reveal with the Dark Knight I kind of predicted, but still interested in that aspect of the story. Unfortunately, chapter 5 starts the "do everything over again" phase which is so dumb. I hate when games do that crap.

I like that they used music from The 4 Heroes of Light for the Nemesis battles, kind of a cool easter egg.

I bought that game and never got to it. Any good?

It may be overshadowed by Bravely Default now, but it's good. The battle system was the main part that drew me in, but it also has a charming presentation that revolves around mixing something modern with nostalgia

*sigh* Kind of want to change my avatar here to Pirate Edea, but I can't find a decent image anywhere.

Anyway, progress is still slow. Just picked up the Praline side quest before heading to the mine. Probably going to grind a bit though since the Automatons took me a few tries (though once I started throwing heals every turn whether I was damaged at the start or not it was wicked easy).
